Aerial 9s--is there a lot more bass than 10Ts?

There is a 7C on the way to replace the 7B...may be worth checking out. I get low end extension in the mid-20s with my 7Bs in a modest-sized room (14.5 x16.5 x9) with no "bass boom."

the build cost of a new version of the 10t would be very very high compared to the original...a sign of the times...the simple one box designs are easier to make and ship.

Thanks for the replies. I wonder whatever happened to the "Novalith" material used in the 10T head unit. Maybe that was the source of its nice, pleasant, midrange tonality and smooth highs.

And sdrenslow, thanks for that info. A new 7C? Wow, a revision after 13+ years (I believe). Bob Kelly does take his time to get things right I guess.

I really did enjoy the 10Ts, by the way.
I hope the new 7's have the nice deep but non-boomy bass
(even near to the wall behind them) I heard in the 10Ts.
I never heard the 7's, but would you say the bass is non-boomy?

Someone once wrote here that, after many other
speakers with all sorts of audiophile tricks of the trade that had fatiguing downsides, that they
just returned to straightforward Aerials to
be done with it. They are a real
do-no-harm speaker (at least the 10Ts were).
I kind of feel the same way.
You just plop them down and they sound good even with
modest upstream equipment (I had them with a $2500 Aragon 8008 amp and an $800 CAL Icon CD player in the mid 1990s.
But a later Pass X350 transformed the mid+highs and especially vocals into a glorious sound.)
No, the wall didn't drop away behind them and they didn't
totally disappear, but they just made you feel good for hours on end.)

Any comments on all this rambling are welcome.
Thanks again for reading.

The 9's need a big room. I have them in a closed in 14x25 room and the bass is overpowering. Midrange is smeared as a result.

Funny thing about the 7s is the used prices have been rising. If you waited watched AG you could pretty much pickup a nice pair in the $1800 to $2200 range. Lately over the past 6 months I'm seeing them more in the $2500 to $3500 range. I've got 7Bs which I'm pretty happy with. Just a hard speaker to drive though. I curious what amps would be too much power. I've been tempted to pick up an older Krell amp and just see what they'd sound like with 600 watts or so. I'd like to see a pair of 20Ts to grab for under $10k.
